These are the "most important"

All the ones that led to titles, and in all cases, without these shots, they likely don't win.

Lakers 2002 down 1-3 (No Chance)

Spurs 2005 down 2-3 (Small Chance)

Lakers 2009 tied 2-2 with G5 in Orlando (Up for grabs)

Lakers 2010 G5 OT at Home (Up for grabs, again)

Mavericks 2011 down 0-2 (IMO over)

2013 Heat down 0-1, but as we know they lost G2, although different Situation. (Up for grabs)

2013 Heat LOSE 2-4

Technically without Dirk's 2011 shot they'd still be tied but the Mavs needed all his shots anyway.

I'd add Dirk's game tying and 1 vs SAS from 06 and the .4 shot from Fisher. Without those shots Mavs lose the series and Lakers have to play a Game 7 in San Antonio. At least with Artest's shot in 2010 it's still tied and they go to OT. Also, with 2013 Miami it was Game 1 so still early in the series - all the others are either late in the series or prevented a huge series lead.

True, but I didn't add them because ultimately they didn't become Champins, but lost in the Finals...

In Dirk's case though, I feel he was robbed, so he can be up there, too.

HUGE shot.

Ah okay. For what's it worth I think the 06 Spurs would've won vs Miami - no way Wade goes off like that against Bowen and Duncan at the rim.

04 Spurs might've beaten Detroit too.

Every shot Kobe has ever made.

Every shot Kobe has ever made.

Someone check the stats but I think Kobe made more than five shots. Not sure though, I know he usually misses.

[Beastmode88]

I forget how hard Derek Fisher and Robert Horry carried Kobe.
